Looking for a shower gel or body wash which smells divine and makes me think I'm in a spa! some chance! Preferably moisturising / luxurious feeling and long lasting smell. Happy to spend a bit more than normal.

Any suggestions?

It's nearly Christmas so why not put some Acqua di Parma on your treat list and channel your inner 'Gstaad Girl' :-)

Another vote for Fenjal, really distinct smell and the shower cream really lingers on your skin

Molton Brown Templetree - Sri Lanka in the shower. I am a HUGE Sri Lanka fan and have been since 1998.

I was given some bits from m&s apothecary range as a gift and was really surprised at how high end it seemed for the price range. The scents are very luxurious and spa like, I actually look forward to using it.

Yes this!! I got the gift basket they're currently selling for £50 at an M&S outlet for £15 a few weeks ago and everything smells so good!

Have you tried Jo malone? A bit pricey, but worth it.

Sakura shower gel from Rituals. Divine.

The most divine smelling shower gel I've ever encountered is a cheapy. You don't need to spend a fortune. It is Badedas.

I know it's nice to have little luxuries in life, but unless you are really rolling in money, why would you (one) spend a fortune on shower products that are literally on your skin for seconds and then get washed away down the drain?

I spend more, when I can on perfume, moisturiser and foundation. Because they are with me all day.

I absolutely adore neals yard.
The aromatic shower gel is beautiful.

The original scent Sanctuary Spa range (available from Boots, amber/peach colour packaging) is a traditional spa scent. Also love the other Sanctuary scent ranges, but that one is the most "spa" like.

Seconded. It smells way more expensive than it is.

I like the Korres ones, there is a fig one which is delicious. They are organic too.

Elemis Frangipani Monoi is my absolute favourite, smells divine and is nice and moisturising.

Mumaway · 16/11/2023 21:41

Espa make some of the best scents, but Molton Brown easier to come by

The almond L’occitane shower gel is gorgeous, it’s always on my birthday/Christmas list as I won’t buy it myself! The whole almond range is lovely.

I agree. They now do a matching body mist

Dramalady52 · 16/11/2023 22:11

The White Company do some lovely shower gels/body moisturisers. I love the Seychelles fragrance, they're always on my birthday list

The Sea salt one is my favourite I think, they smell very luxurious.

I've bought the set of mini ones to try out and see which scent I like.

Springingintosummer · 16/11/2023 22:17

Agree with Badedas.

DumpedByText · 16/11/2023 22:22

I'm obsessed with the Tropic jasmine, neroli and vetivert body wash. It smells divine and makes my skin so soft.

Doggymummar · 16/11/2023 22:30

I have a Brazilian bumbum cream impregnated massage sponge from village wax. It's lasted three months so far and is devine. They say it lasts a month but I only shower quickly.

TenderDandelions · 16/11/2023 22:37

Flowers by The White Company is currently my favourite.

RenoDakota · 16/11/2023 22:42

Agree with the PPs who said Sanctuary Spa.
